Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies head-to-head record

The Phillies have dominated the last five encounters between the two teams, winning four of them, including a landslide victory in June of last year. But the Detroit Tigers, who won their current split doubleheader 4-1, have proven they can contend. While the Tigers have depended on quality pitching to maintain games close when they have won, the Phillies' offense has proven more explosive in these games, collecting six or more runs in two of its victories. Detroit's higher batting average might help them produce a more reliable offense given the present statistics, but Philadelphia might have an advantage due to their ability to take advantage of scoring opportunities. This game is expected to be competitive, with the Phillies hoping to maintain their domination and the Tigers trying to balance out their recent head-to-head record.
